Garden

Four in the morning
and all along this fevered trail
All is calm and all is bright
The stars are with us tonight
And me? Thanks, I’m doing fine
Holding my hands up
Over my head one at a time
There’s no waiting Waiting is over now
And all I’ve got to do is drive
[Unintelligible foreign lyric]
All lives leave some love unknown
You know what they say now
when they say what they say you know [something]
You know this country, out here when it’s late at night
doesn’t act like much of an empire at all
Just a broken, lonely string of lights
through these hills and valleys that go on and on and on
Where’s the common heart?
[Unintelligible foreign lyric about life and truth]
All lives leave some love unknown
Swing wide the gate to the garden
I’m coming home to you
There’s no deciding Don’t need a reason
When it’s what you do that matters
It’s what you do that matters

Strangers in the Sky

Strangers in the sky
I’m not your enemy
All the strangers in the sky
And all the creatures of the deep blue sea
They can hear a million voices
How many of you have heard a million voices?

Who's to Blame
05:01
|
|||
Spent all morning in line for some government cheese
It was a pretty good haul I got some butter, too
Took it home and cut it up for the punks
Maybe one of them was you
Who’s to blame? Who’s to blame?
Two thousand men and women under a railroad bridge
Everyone swaying
Two thousand God’s Bits of Wood scattered in the forest
And we are singing hymns/ We’re just singing hymns
Who’s to blame? Who’s to blame?
‘Cause I really want to talk to that man
You can postmark this one Defenestration Boulevard
Land of broken candy machines
Where the old vets sleep outside on white flag nights
If I have ever seen a sin, that’s a sin
Who’s to blame? Who’s to blame?
‘Cause I really want to talk to that man

Undaunted
02:41
|

They carried me back to the forbidden city
Where the freemen and the horses pad the elegant payrolls
And the winter’s long lesson is withering vengeance
And I will be undaunted
You can take some comfort in that
I’ll remember the rivers rising
Howling horizons and harsh, frozen silos
The crumbling embattlements of the captains of industry
Leave me undaunted
You can take a little comfort in that
In the long march I’m right here beside you
I’ll hold you close in the dawn’s gritty light
These times are slowly losing their purpose
There in the distance
You and me undaunted
You can take a little comfort in that
You and me undaunted
Please take a little comfort in that

Apalachicola
03:27
|

There are gray little pinpoints of light
in the oyster shells in the depths of the delta
Big River Apalachicola
You’ve got courage, sanctity, nothing and dyslexia
In Apalachicola
I see a slow, strange train coming
In Apalachicola

I Miss My Blood
05:17
|

When I sing my song
The ghosts scatter
When I sing my song
The mountain whispers to me
My only friend is my little pony
My constant companion this mount beneath me
High on this rock
I watch the night
afallin’
Tonight! my heart is filled with sorrow
Tonight! my heart is filled with sorrow
I miss my mama and my papa
I miss my brothers killed in the war
I wish that I too had been been killed in the war
Still see the sword
Still hear the gun
Still taste the blood
My blood
When I sing my gong
The ghosts scatter
When I sing my song
The mountain she whispers to me
I miss my sister lost to this war
That part of me and you spilled in the war
I miss my blood
I miss my blood
I miss my blood

Ramparts

I don’t want to seem like some kind of an alarmist, baby
But there go the lights
In my basement I hid a reticent marxist
The old man sputtered and moaned
But he didn’t do nothing about it
All I hear are are some chants from you
When’s anybody here gonna take a chance or two?
If you’ve seen this before then you know that the coming regime brings a most unpleasant set of circumstances
They’ve no brains or compassion
A confederacy of dunces and asshole want to run this nation
When the revolution comes I’ve got my gun
They will come and then what’s done is done
Traditionally in the night these things are done

She Held a Locket
07:17
|

She held a locket of Kennedy and King
Said Carry me home, Carry me home
My soul is a witness/ Ninety nine years
Some in better days/ Some in tears
My soul is a witness/ To too much fear and rage
You’ve got to turn it away/ You’ve got to turn it away
As my soul is a witness
Everybody needs heroes/ Even heroes have heroes
When I was coming up They shot mine down
You have to stand up for yourself
And when something’s not right
Say this isn’t right
You have to stand up for yourself
As my soul is a witness
